Hi Danny,

Yep, I hear you... you'll have 8 links on the top bar so I'm thinking 
many people may just put the most common/desirable links up there. 
Conceptually, I think it might make sense to have the top content box 
lower so as people read the article it's available to them as they 
finish reading but I want to see what the numbers tell us.

Thanks,
Q.
